  2. 1. Alternative Redox Couples for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

    Author : Sandra Feldt; Anders Hagfeldt; Gerrit Boschloo; Petra Cameron; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; redox mediator; triphenylamine; cobalt; ferrocene; titanium dioxide; regeneration; recombination; Physical Chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) convert sunlight to electricity at a low cost. In the DSC, a dye anchored to a mesoporous TiO2 semiconductor is responsible for capturing the sunlight. READ MORE

  4. 2. Liquid Redox Electrolytes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

    Author : Ze Yu; Lars Kloo; Md K Nazeeruddin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dye-sensitized solar cells; electrolytes; ionic liquids; redox couples; additives;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on liquid redox electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). A liquid redox electrolyte, as one of the key constituents in DSCs, typically consists of a redox mediator, additives and a solvent. READ MORE

  5. 3. Electrolyte-Based Dynamics: Fundamental Studies for Stable Liquid Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

    Author : Jiajia Gao; Lars Kloo; Elizabeth Gibson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dye-sensitized solar cells; Stability; Electrolyte; Cobalt redox couples; Additives; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The long-term outdoor durability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is still a challenging issue for the large-scale commercial application of this promising photovoltaic technique. In order to study the degradation mechanism of DSSCs, ageing tests under selected accelerating conditions were carried out. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monitoring of Cellular Dynamics with Focus on Electrochemical Detection Techniques

    Author : Arto Heiskanen; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microfluidic system; Microchip; PC12; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; Cell adhesion; Amperometry; Exocytosis; Redox environment; Cell-based assay;

    Abstract : This thesis presents work in two main areas of focus, the development of electroanalytical techniques to monitor the dynamics of cellular processes as well as design and fabrication of microelectrode chips for electrochemical detection as well as a prototype microfluidic system to be used for cell analysis and culturing. The electrochemically monitored cellular parameters were the cellular redox environment (CRE), cell adhesion and exocytosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Electrochemical Reactions of Quinones at Conducting Polymer Electrodes

    Author : Canyan Che; Xavier Crispin; Mikhail Vagin; Magnus Jonsson; Viktor Gueskine; Mieczyslaw Lapkowski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Proton-coupled multielectron transfer reactions are of great abundance in Nature. In particular, two-proton-two-electron transfers in quinone/hydroquinone redox couples are behind oxidative phosphorylation (ADP-to-ATP) and photosystem II. READ MORE
